ZOLL Pedi-Padz User manual

Brand: ZOLL

Model: Pedi-Padz

Type: User manual

ZOLL Pedi-Padz are designed for use on pediatric patients less than 8 years of age or weighing less than 55lbs (25kg). They are compatible with ZOLL R Series and X Series devices and can be used for defibrillation, noninvasive pacing, cardioversion, and ECG monitoring. The electrodes feature a solid gel design that conforms to the patient's skin for optimal conductivity and patient comfort. They are also preconnected to a ZOLL Multi-Function Cable for quick and easy setup.

6. These electrodes are recommended for

patients less than 8 years of age or

weighing less than 55lbs (25kg). For

patients over 25kg, adult electrodes are

recommended. Do not delay therapy to

determine actual weight of patient during

emergency.

7. Avoid electrode placement near the

generator of an internal pacemaker, other

electrodes or metal parts in contact with

the patient.

8. Some current generated by electrosurgical

units (ESU) may concentrate in the

conductive gel of pacing / defibrillation

electrodes, especially if an ESU grounding

pad other than that recommended by the

ESU manufacturer is used. Consult the

ESU operator's manual for further details.

9. To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the

pads, patient, or bed when defibrillating.

10.Do not discharge standard paddles on or

through electrodes or place separate ECG

leads under pads. Doing so could lead to

arcing and/or skin burning.

11.Device disposal shall follow hospital

protocol.

12. Use only with ZOLL pacemaker/

defibrillator products.

1. Do not use if gel is dry. Dried out gel can lead

to skin burning. Do not open pouch until ready

to use. Do not use electrodes past the

expiration date printed on the pouch label.

2. Do not fold electrodes or packaging. Any fold

in or other damage to the conductive element

could lead to the possibility of arcing and/or

skin burns.

3. After patient movement due to muscle

contraction or patient repositioning, press pads

to skin to ensure good coupling between pads

and skin.

4. Continuous pacing of patients could cause

burns. Periodic inspection of the underlying

skin, at least every 30 minutes during pacing,

is strongly advised.

5. Electrodes should be replaced after 24 hours of

use or 1 hour of pacing.

Instructions for Use

OPERATING TEMPERATURE: 0° C to 50° C (32° F to 122° F)

SHORT TERM STORAGE TEMPERATURE: -30° C to 65° C (-22° F to 149° F)

LONG TERM STORAGE TEMPERATURE: 0° C to 35° C (32° F to 95° F)

SkinPad

ELECTRODE PLACEMENT (Anterior-Posterior)

Grasp the Back/Sternum electrode at

the bottom and peel from the plastic

liner. Apply electrode centered along

spine of patient.

Grasp the Apex/Front

electrode at the bottom and

peel from the plastic liner.

Apply over cardiac apex with

the nipple under adhesive

area.

Avoid any contact between

nipple and gel treatment

area. Skin of the nipple

area is more susceptible to

burning.

Always apply back electrode

first. If front electrode is already

in place when patient is being

maneuvered for placement of

the back, the front may become

partially lifted. This could lead

to arcing and skin burns.

Pedi-padz® Solid Gel Multi-function

INDICATIONS FOR USE

Deﬁbrillation Noninvasive Pacing Cardioversion ECG monitoring

SKIN PREPARATION

Ensure skin is clean and dry. Remove any debris, ointments, etc. with water (and mild soap if needed).

Wipe off excess moisture/diaphoresis with dry cloth.

ELECTRODE APPLICATION

Poor adherence and/or air under the electrodes can lead to the possibility of arcing and skin burns.

1. Apply one edge of the pad securely to the patient.

2. “Roll” the pad smoothly from that edge to the other. Be careful

not to trap any pockets of air between the gel and skin.

3. Connect electrodes to machine cable.

4. Connect ECG leads for demand pacing.

Recommended for defibrillation, noninvasive pacing, cardioversion, and ECG monitoring of pediatric patients.

For use on pediatric patients with ZOLL® R Series® and X Series® by trained personnel including Physicians, Nurses, Paramedics, Emergency Medical

Technicians and Cardiovascular Laboratory Technicians. The Pedi-padz electrodes are indicated for use on pediatric patients less than 8 years of age

or weighing less than 55lbs (25kg). For patients over 25kg, adult electrodes are recommended.

Preconnecting the Electrodes

1. Do not open until ready to use.

2. Periodically inspect electrode packaging for integrity & expiration date.

3. Attach to connector of a ZOLL Multi-Function Cable.
